We are thrilled to share the news of the recently created AutoCAD for Mac subject page on Lynda.com, home of a growing number of high-quality video tutorials designed to help users get drawing quickly. Autodesk has partnered with Lynda.com to provide a 30-day free trial to access these videos (from within AutoCAD, or a 7-day trial from right here) - along with downloadable exercise files - which you can use to get your hands dirty while running the tutorial videos. As the AutoCAD for Mac community continues to grow, we expect this resource to become the premier destination for online training.

The courses available at present on Lynda.com AutoCAD for Mac page are:
